Transmission problems

[LittleBeast]

Thanks for all the input. The problems have gotten progressivly worse and just last night the transmission was not shifting out of 1st gear and then it was slamming into the gears when it finally would after staying around redline for 5-6 secs. Then my check trans light started flashing on and off. Tried stopping engine and restarting nothing helped. Took it into dealer today and they said the fluid level was fine but it was throwing the auto transmission shifter lever code that VehiX mentioned, so they said $375 later and a new shifter lever I should be fine. We will see later today when I pick it up, I have my fingers crossed. Thanks again for all the input.

That shifter lever is adjustable according to what I was told when they fixed this problem for me.

I'm curious as to why it needs to be replaced and YOU have to pay for it rather then having them adjust it for what appears to be a problem THEY caused when you brought it in for service!

Yeah, so the next day after they supposedly installed the trans shifter lever for $400 it did the same thing, hard shifting into third after reving far too high and then check trans light starts flashing. So I took it back in yesterday and I am not going to pay them a dime more, they better fix it for free.

yeah its not dripping and its def burning. I was pretty sure that it mught be my pistons rings and now im more sure about it. I dont trust those Jiffy lubes at all they are all cause of even more damage of engine. Well im going to see now how much oil im burning and see what it show me if its too much them im probly going to get ready to spend a lot of money to replace those damn rings. Im just wondering how it happend and why? My VX has only 46000 and it burns oil already =(

Just get(or do) a compression test, see what is going on in your cylinders.

They are claiming that since it is not something that happens all the time, only after driving for a day or so, that it has to be electrical, so they are trying to reset everything and see if that works. We will see.
